I am conflicted about this because on the one hand, the writting is beautiful, and the pace of the dialogues makes the book float right through. But on the other hand the detailed telling (listing all the different name of allies and enemies at each change) can make you lose part of the plot at times. 

Overall, definetly worth a read but not a transcending experience either.
